Recent reports indicate that an internal division within AC Milan`s management has directly contributed to the collapse of Mattia Liberali`s intended transfer to Catanzaro. Despite this significant setback, the promising young player is reportedly steadfast in his resolve to join the Serie B club, seemingly preferring it over a potential move to Torino.
This situation is particularly complex as Liberali is currently in the final year of his contract with the Rossoneri at San Siro.
Liberali`s Move to Catanzaro Seemingly Assured
However, what appeared to be a straightforward transfer came to an abrupt halt earlier today. AC Milan unexpectedly withheld the necessary clearance for the 18-year-old to travel for his scheduled medical examination.
The current status of the transfer remains highly chaotic, reportedly fueled by ongoing behind-the-scenes disagreements among various directors within the Milan hierarchy.
Sources suggest that Giorgio Furlani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are of the opinion that Liberali would benefit more from either transferring to Torino or even remaining with his current club. In contrast, sporting director Igli Tare is actively pushing for Liberali`s move to Catanzaro.
For his part, Liberali is reportedly convinced that a move to Catanzaro represents the ideal next step in his professional career. He is eager to uphold the agreement he had previously reached with the Serie B team.
While Torino has been mentioned as a potential alternative, they have yet to submit a formal proposal, further adding to the confusion surrounding the young player`s future.
